Vengeance at last!

First of all I want to start the post by linking this:

 >>>>AT LAST!!!<<<<<

The Vengeance has eluded my killboard for quite some time now. I've always known my Wolf can take one down with relative ease, but the circumstances never played out right. This one was piloted by a fairly new pilot and he still gave me a run for my money. Especially because I forgot to turn on the afterburner...but screw it, I'm taking this kill and putting it on my hall of fame!

Rock you like a Hurricane

Recently I made a return to wormhole space along with Sorn Nordvind. You can read about our exploits on his blog post here. Needless to say, the crave for sleeper wrecks and glorious nanoribbons have returned,  but I wasn’t happy with my Hurricane fit.

I reread my old posts and reviewed old lossmails. I remembered Immortalus, my old workhorse, and how fond I was of its passive shield tank. I then read in one of my posts that its passive shield tank didn’t hold under heavy sleeper fire. I loaded the simulation of the old fit and started tweaking.

A Century of Kills

100 kills under the BRRC flag! As a cherry on top, my 100th kill was a solo reaper kill! Thank you to Sorn for offering to sit that one out, allowing me to have my "golden killmail"! Ryuu McLoud wasn't all that happy to lose his Procurer and started whining in local. Me and Sorn put an end to that. (technically that was my 100th kill, but don't kill the mood you technical bastard!) We started a fleet of rookie ships consisting of me (Reaper), Sorn (Inquisitor) and Tomba (Velator), but didn't find anything to shoot at.

Mini Fist Pump!

I found a class 2 wormhole in Ardar on Saturday. After thoroughly scouting it out, I fetched my new Hurricane and started shooting at sleepers. The tank did...okay I guess, had to warp out one or two times to let my armor repper catch up but all in all it held its own. The addition of the webber made all the difference against the frigates and I think my DPS is okay against cruisers. The battleships are tough cookies to crack though, and they pack a punch from a distance. I had to bookmark a random object close to it, warp out and back to the object to get under its guns.

Questionable Tanking

The past few days was busy without being eventfull. I rebuilt my Cheetah and set about scanning the surrounding systems, found a few Ladars and Grav sites along with a class 2 wormhole which I explored, but without a Hurricane on standby there wasn't much point. It does seem as though my theory was right, low sec wormholes don't get as much attention as they do in hi sec, though I'll have to look more into this.

So...what now?

I've spent the last two days thinking on plans to make my WH career a bit more successful, I have a few ideas, but first I need to tell you about an interesting and surprising happening on the day after I lost my second cane.

Disaster!

I have lost yet another Hurricane! I have to admit, I'm losing my composure! I would tell you how I lost it, but I'd suggest you go to my previous post for that!
By some form of twisted fate I stumbled upon exactly the same WH as last time. This time I did scan for ships first, and found none. Mind you though, at the time I didn't realize I was in the same WH, so after scanning down an anomaly I collected my cane and did my thing. And then, "oh look a Loki uncloaked!"

R.I.P. Immortallus

I imagine my body feeling the warmth of the sun as I fly by the Torrinos star in my pod. I doubt that my pod would actually let any warmth breach it's shields though. The warp to the Ibura gate is a nice quiet moment in contrast to the events that just preceded, time to contemplate, think about the mistakes, learn..."WHAT? How?" comes the voice of a fellow corp member, Seth, in response to my claim that I just lost my ship. Yes, Immortallus is no more, and with it, my clean streaks in wormhole space.

Into the unknown...again!

I found a wormhole! It was a quiet class 2 in the Isinokka system. Found another just before that one and I watched it collapse soon after I arrived, a wonderful and rare sight that made me pause to think about the repercussions if I had jumped through a minute before. Some part of me have always wanted to get lost in unknown space, now that would be an adventure! But on to the wormhole I found right after.

Introductions and Such

Well met!

My name is Yuzuki Katayanagi, I'm a Vherokian capsuleer trained by the Republic University, though it has been a few years now (and a few deaths) since I graduated. I’ve had many adventures along my travels and met quite a few faces, some of which remain friends to this day.

I have recently acquired more friends, a place to call home and new goals for the future. These all came in the form of a corporation called Abaddon Innovations. They took me in while I was in a rather tight spot because of a wild investment that turned sour and left me flying in an Ibis digging around for any scrap of money I could find. I soon realized though that we shared a common fascination: wormholes
